Princess Leia Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Has anyone any experience with buying chooks from Sunnyside Poultry in Burton Upon Trent? Just about to get some new girls and came across them in a search for local suppliers. Had a quick look round last weekend, seemed all OK, but didn't have anything to directly compare them with. http://www.sunnysidepoultry.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg_x Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 I visited Sunnyside last year when we were looking. Found them to be very helpful/informative however we put our hen keeping ambitions on hold so didn't get any from them in the end but I would of have had no qualms in using them. Sorry can't be more helpful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eve Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 They are great had all our hybirds from them. They lay very well have a variety of birds and knowledge to. Im only a back garden keeper. Got 5 hens at the mo all from them.a ranger thats 4 years old and lays 6 out of 7 days still.the columbine lays a pale green egg but not a friendly bird. All the others are very friendly, also when they say pol all of mine have come into lay within days of getting them home .

Guest Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I live not far from Sunnyside. I still have 3 of the original 6 girls I had from there 5 years ago. I send most local peeps there for hens and a couple of my pals have been very happy with their hens from Sunnyside. The next girls I buy will also be from Sunnyside. While I am on my recommendation box I have found easichick to be by far the best bedding run scratch surface around, much better than the horsey alternatives. eta feel free to message me if you need more details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
